The Serino’s lab aims at uncovering new layers of regulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in light-regulated developmental processes, using mainly Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system. The lab is located in the main campus of Sapienza University, the oldest university in Rome (Italy) and the largest in Europe. It is very close to the Rome city center and hosted by the Department of Biology and biotechnology, which includes internationally renowned scientists with differing and complementing expertise, and up to-date research facilities such as cutting edge microscopy facilities and nanotechnologies.
